A DBus interface for CMU Pocketsphinx speech recognition.
Pyramid ASR relies upon the following libraries to run
- dbus-cxx For DBus interface
- pocketsphinx Speech recognition
- sphinxbase Getting audio device for speech recognition
- GLib 2.0 Parsing configuration files
Pyramid ASR uses a CMake build system, to build and install:
cmake CMakeLists.txt
make -j 4
sudo make install
The main goal of Pyramid ASR is to function as a daemon for speech recognition so that other programs running on your device can hook into speech to text control without needing a large speech recognition library. Having this daemon running in the background on statup ensures that the speech to text ability is loaded when it is needed.
pyramid [ -h | -v | -d | -a ADDRESS ]
-h Show this usage text.
-d Start a new Pyramid ASR Service daemon if one is not running already.
-v Display the current version of this program.
-a ADDRESS Connect the Pyramid ASR Service to the specified custom DBus bus specified by the given address.
If no options are supplied, a new Pyramid ASR Service instance will be made unless another Pyramid ASR Service instance is already running.
Daemonization will fail if another Pyramid ASR Service instance is running.
Addresses specified by the -a option should be DBus specification compliant, for example: pyramid -a unix:/tmp/pyramid.socket
Specifies to connect to a DBus through a UNIX socket located at /tmp/pyramid.socket
All of the interfaces implemented by Pyramid ASR are described with the DBus introspection format in the ca.l5.expandingdev.PyramidASR file in the res/ subdirectory. Additional documentation as to what each method does and usage examples are to come.
